In a century filled with death and darkness, the few remaining human survivors must continue to support each other as they struggle to survive through the ongoing global pandemic, and the now full-swing zombie apocalypse.

The fact that this planet is nothing more than a zombie-infested wasteland - a harsh and unforgiving place - doesn't mean that true love doesn't exist. 

While the last of humanity struggles to survive, whether true love prevails or not, depends solely on finding the cure. Even then, it may not be worth getting a mouthful of zombie.

Barely Alive (#JustWriteIt #SuperCharged) by Hunterarlert
24 parts Complete Mature
Travis, Darcie, Dawson, Tori, Leo, Levi, Kaylie, Hunter, and Anthony have no business knowing each other, let alone being a team. But during a zombie apocalypse, when you get desperate, you're desperate. When you're out of options, you need to do what you need to do to survive every day. Sometimes, it might not always be ideal. But when push comes to shove, when you're barely alive and should be dead, the people who you don't know may just save you. Surviving without enemies is hard enough. But when the past comes back to haunt and enemies come to fight, the apocalypse may just become almost impossible to survive. Brains and brawn may not be enough. It takes heart to make it day to day. They knew it would be hard. They didn't know it would be next to impossible to survive. This is a story my friend and I wrote together. It took us about a year to complete. Comments would be great to see so we know if something needs to be fixed or if it's a good story.

Follow them in their path to safety and join them in their scary, sad, happy, or angry moments through the horde of the undead.
